The Cards are a better team, but they are handcuffed by ineptness at the top. Kind of like America-(fuck yeah) at the moment. LaRussa is a joke - what is he, three games over .500 in the playoffs over 13 appearances? Ted Turner could do that well from the bench.

I'm glad to see this matchup in the World Series. How can you top having a team that hasn't won since WWI and another that has never been there in their 44 years. The managers are interesting as well. Ozzie Guillen is great - he just does what he wants, and F everyone else. Phil Garner is a former Brewer manager, so he's OK by me. Did you know that his wife was on the stadium board that helped in getting Enron Field built in the first place (and while Phil was managing the Crew)?

Overall I gotta say Go Stros! Bags and Biggio deserve a ring.
